Great time today at the Shank, although a very un-jolly crowd during this Christmas season, as the rookie AOQ trys to finds his stride. but all that quickly subsided once we got down to business, except for the occasional, varying insults hurled my way (“Brick you suck”, “150 burpees?! , etc…).
Also, a few failures of note, the guys (mainly KD) were quick to point out to their newbie, AOQ. Ok, ok; I forgot to plant the flag, I called it a Shuttle flag, then quickly tried to save face, and called it a shuffle flag (who knew), oh, and then I almost left it on my way out. Settle down guys, I’ll pick it up eventually.
We pressed on though and work was done. Everyone crushed it today. T-Claps to Crab legs for posting for his 2nd of the week.
Finally, we had our second FNG of the week. Welcome, Sergeant Slaughter. You might say, he hit the cool name jackpot; wouldn’t you agree, Hash and Rice?
Scott Bager, 54, Neighbors with Runaway, 23 years in Army, Infantry, signaling/communication: Morse Code, flanker, who are we kidding, let’s make Hash really jealous (someone actually said that, but I won’t call them out), Sergeant Slaughter it is.
Enjoyed it, guys!
Warm up Mosey and Circle up
SSH IC X10, Merkins ICX10, SSH IC X10, Squats ICX10, SSH IC X10, 10 Burpees OYO
The Thang(s):
We partnered up in 4 teams of 3 for a relay, we did 60 yd runs with 2 guys on one end and 1 on the other. One of the 2 stays and does his part of called team exercise, while the other one runs to the solo partner at the other end. The solo Pax was doing as many reps as possible of a called core exercise. The 5 rounds we did were as follows.
100 Team Alternating Merkins (on your block) –> Plank Jacks (as many as possible)
125 Team block thrusters –>Mt. Climbers (as many as possible)
150 Team Burpees –>Iron Crosses (as many as possible)
175 Team Kettlebell Swings –> hold high plank (until partner returns)
200 Team Squats with your block –>V-ups (as many as possible)

14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,[a] 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.[b] 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
